One of the best series ever: Celtics win 4-3

[Guest]

Nice, the lead at halftime!

 

Let's see if I can get home in time for the start of the third quarter.

[SpongeWorthy]

Whoever starts making shots in the 2nd half is going to win. Boston missed a lot of easy stuff and no one besides Kirk and a little Salmons can get on track for Chicago.

 

Boston looks nervous to me.

[Andy]

Derrick Rose called for a foul for being near Big Baby on a layup. At least, I assume that's what it was for since there wasn't any contact.

[manbearcub]

ridiculous

[Andy]

Damn it Salmons, shut up.

 

Ray with 4 fouls now though.

[Andy]

Ugh Ben, you moron. Trying to draw the charge 50 feet from the hoop is something the Celts should be doing not you.

[bcl412]

I hate the refs and I hate Rondo.

Yea but it was a horrible call. This series has been officiated worse than any playoff series I can remember. Id be kicked out of here by now

I can't imagine any series worse officiated than our series against Miami in 2006. The home team got ALL the calls in every game of that series.

I hate when my favorite team flops and gives the other team a 5 on 4. Luckily it didn't hurt.

[SpongeWorthy]

I'd much rather have Hinrich and Rose playing together than Hinrich and Ben. VDN must be worried about Ben's hamstring locking up.

I'm going to sound stupid here, but this series is the first NBA I've paid any attention to since the Jordan days. I'm pretty sure the way the announcers are talking, the first round is a 7-game series. Didn't it used to be 5? When did this change?

5 years ago maybe. I forget exactly.

Yeah it used to be 5. It changed a few years ago. 2003 I believe.

Actually I'm pretty sure you got it. I believe 04 was the first year that started.

 

One quarter away, Bulls!

[bcl412]

I wish Kirk was good enough to play like this all the time.

[Andy]

Damn, Kirk. He might need stitches.

[bcl412]

The Bulls win the 3rd for the first time in the series. If you win the 4th you can clinch it at home.

[SpongeWorthy]

Kirk's been absolutely brilliant so far.

[CubmanPi]

Thanks. It sounds like they're on a 2-2-1-1-1 setup for how many games each team gets at home, is that correct? Will it be that way for all playoff rounds?

The Finals are 2-3-2. All other rounds are 2-2-1-1-1.

I'm not sure but isn't usually that way until the finals? Then it goes 2-3-2

[CubmanPi]

NICE!!

he came to steal michael jordan's brain!

[bcl412]

Let's get a huge run.
